“…Popovic et al [7] analyzed the glucose and maltose concentrations of the DGG of mature adult uninfected B. glabrata snails maintained in laboratory cultures containing various dilutions of artificial ocean water (AOW), as well as the whole bodies of young adult B. glabrata snails maintained in laboratory cultures at the same dilutions of AOW for up to four weeks. Controls for both groups consisted of snails of the same size maintained identically in deionized water and artificial spring water.…”

This review examines the recent high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) literature on the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on certain analytes in the medically important freshwater snail, Biomphalaria glabrata. The analytes studied were lipids, lipophilic pigments, amino acids, and carbohydrates. As determined by HPTLC, various factors, such as larval parasitism, estivation, temperature changes, and others, alter the metabolism of the snail and cause significant changes in the chemical contents of the analytes under study.
